Here’s a solid update on the Apple/FBI encryption disagreement, including a pretty clear illustration of the major problem for the future of data security when you pit a company against itself.
“Now that the government has tried to force Apple to hack its own code, security officials say, the company must view itself as the vulnerability.
“‘This is the first time that Apple has been included in their own threat model,’ Mr. Zdziarski said. ‘I don’t think Apple ever considered becoming a compelled arm of the government.’”
Apple should be making your data more and more secure, protecting your privacy in new and better ways. It should not be fighting against itself in the process.
